The Weather Channel

Is it me or is the pollen horrible this year.  This year especially, I'm feeling it in my eyes and nose more than ever.

Considering all of the different models that are coming out about Hurricane Jaoquin, most literally being updated by the half hour, the one thing that we're certain about right now is the uncertainty.

The National Weather Service has been assigning names to major hurricanes for over 60 years. On the heels of this week's snow, that some referred to as "Juno", you might think that they've started to apply the same practice to winter storms as well. But that's not the case.

From reading the note, it looked like Mike hadn't survived. It was literally his goodbye message to his father and the world. And then things got really dramatic.

We were the first to bring you the original story of Mike, and the note that he left to say goodbye when he thought that the storm would overpower him. Coming up next week, his story will be the focus of a TV special.

On the heels of Hurricane Sandy, nobody wanted to have to deal with a nor'easter, and some of us were confused when we heard talk of "Athena"
